Waste to Worth Preview: Gypsum Bedding Risks and Rewards 2015-02-10T11:02:29-05:002015-03-02T14:25:38-05:00
<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' class='vevent'><span class='vevent'><span class='summary'>A preview of the useful topics that will be
discussed and presented via posters and informational sessions at the Waste to
Worth Conference in Seattle, a group of professors and extension professionals
present about the use of gypsum in dairy bedding. Gypsum recycled from dry wall
is used to supplement traditional bedding materials with agronomic, milk
quality, and cow health benefits. But once in the manure storage, gypsum
bedding is a source of sulfur that leads to increased hydrogen sulfide gas
production. This toxic gas is commonly found at deadly levels in enclosed
manure pits, though dangerous levels are found even around outdoor open-air
storages during agitation of gypsum manure. <br><br><i>An
application for continuing education credit for Certified Crop Advisors
(CCAs) and members of the American Registry of Professional Animal
Scientists (ARPAS) has been submitted.</i>
